C176 (1/2)
Shuo Yue's body was truly in a Treasure Chest, she had everything she needed. She felt that anything she could take out in the nick of time would be able to solve her big problem.
I reached out and took it. It was a thick glove. Looking left and right, I didn't know what was wrong with it.
”Is it a deerskin glove?” Zhang Ziyuan was knowledgeable, and could tell what it was just by looking at it.
After hearing what he said, I came to a realization. I had heard that deer skin was thick and could protect one's hands from poisons. People who used to use poisonous concealed weapons would wear deerskin gloves to prevent themselves from getting hurt.
I've only heard of this legend before, I never thought that Shuo Yue really had this kind of mysterious gloves on him. She probably wants me to put on the gloves to study the mysteries of the zombies.
I gratefully looked at Shuo Yue, put on the gloves, and stretched my hand out to the zombie's body to feel.
Even though I was wearing gloves, I still felt terrified. It was the first time I had explored a zombie at such a close distance, and I felt my appetite churning to the point where I was about to vomit.
As I groped around, I found that the knobs of the zombie seemed to be moving, because it was struggling so hard, I hit it again and it lay still on the ground.
After touching the zombie's head, I found that it could rotate 360 degrees. After a few turns, the zombie made a ”ka ka” sound like a machine, and the end of the tunnel lit up.
So that's how it was, the zombie's head was the mechanism of the tunnel, how exactly did it come into being? It was so terrifying, if it wasn't for Shuo Yue's gloves, I probably wouldn't even dare to study zombies, then wouldn't we be unable to open the mechanism?
After opening a few tunnels, we finally walked out of the maze, but we didn't walk out of the illusion world. At the end of the tunnel, there was a terrifying place, an empty space, and above it hung heads and corpses, heads full of expressions, some of them already protruding from their eyes, some of them dying with grievances, some of them with blood flowing from their eyes, corpses of all kinds, some with only half of their bodies missing arms …
”Holy sh * t, that scared me to death!” I hid behind Zhang Ziyuan, I was talking about the ghosts, if I did not have any objections to the looks that Zhang Ziyuan and Xiao Cui had, I would definitely avoid such a terrifying thing.
”Don't be afraid, these are all dead creatures. What's there to be afraid of if they're still.”
Zhang Ziyuan said softly, but he managed to speak in a relaxed manner. I am a girl, after all, how can I not be afraid when looking at this kind of thing?
Although Zhang Ziyuan said that, his hand still tightly held onto my hand. I felt a little more at ease in my heart.
”These are all illusions. They're no different from the fake ones in Halloween Park. Are you afraid of those too?”
He didn't expect Shuo Yue to know about the Halloween carnival in the park. Seems like he had been there before, but the problem is, I didn't have the nerve to tell him.
”But what is the point of this illusion? How do we get out? ”
Just as he asked this question, the scene in front of him changed. The horrible things that were hanging on his body were no longer there, and what replaced them seemed to be a paradise.
There was a soft bed, and a table full of delicacies, and the smell of wine was overwhelming. It was a huge temptation for the exhausted and hungry of us, and I felt like my stomach was going to growl.
There were also gold bricks and treasures scattered all over the place. The golden light shone so brilliantly that people couldn't even take their eyes off it.
It was then that I realized that this place was not a terrifying illusion, but a seductive one.
If we accept these temptations, I'm afraid we'll never get out.
”He actually used this kind of illusion technique against us. He really doesn't understand us at all. If we were all just enjoying ourselves and had desires in our hearts, how would we have gotten to where we are today?” Zhang Ziyuan said.
Originally, I should have this kind of mentality, but I don't know why I feel like my eyelids can no longer open when I see that soft bed. I really want to immediately fall down and have a good night's sleep on top of it.
Shuo Yue who was at the side also had the same feeling, she staggered to the front of the jar and wanted to reach for it.
”Shuo Yue! ”Don't touch the wine jar!” Zhang Ziyuan shouted.
Shuo Yue seemed to be awoken by Zhang Ziyuan's shout. She took a few steps back in shock and shook her head to clear her mind.
Originally, I was also in a daze, and wanted to fall on that soft bed to have a good night's sleep. After hearing Zhang Ziyuan's voice, I immediately woke up, and looked around me in fear, not knowing what kind of magic could be here.
”What happened to you two?” Zhang Ziyuan asked.
”I, I just felt very sleepy and wanted to sleep on that huge bed. If it wasn't for you, I'd probably have fallen asleep by now.”
Shuo Yue also had a face full of confusion. I smelled the sweetness of the wine and wanted to slap the mud seal off and have a good drink. At that time, my mind was already unable to think of anything else.
What was going on? Could it be that the illusion in this place made people fall for it naturally, then why was Zhang Ziyuan completely fine?
So that's how it is. I understand now, you two must not be fooled by the things here. Humans all had emotions and desires, and there were no exceptions for strong willed people. It was as if they were thirsty, hungry, tired, sad, depressed, and happy. They were all unstoppable. Since you are humans, you have naturally found the path here. I am just a ghost that roamed the Three Realms, so I will not be affected.
